C.R.A.Z.Y. (France, 2005)
This film has been popping up on my Netflix recommendations for a while now and until tonight I had avoided it. I saw that it was catagorized as a ‘gay film’ and assumed it would be cliche’ and generic. Well never judge a book by its cover. I read a few reviews and decided to check it out. This was a phenomenal film that actually lived up to the hype. The film is about a young boy, the fourth son, who is very different. Not only is he sensitive and caring, but he also has a special gift:a Jesus-like ability to heal. Growing up in a super testorone driven family with three very different older brothers (the brain, the athlete, and the rebel) proves difficult. Things get especially worse when his father turns on him after catching him in his mothers robe. The film is a father-son film with a gay twist. This is something I’ve never seen done before and was particularly powerful. We see Zac grow up, go through different phases, and eventually become a stronger person. But the film doesn’t solely focus on Zac coming-of-age. It isn’t really about being gay. In fact Zac doesn’t come to terms with it until very late in the film and even when he does it isn’t even mentioned or shown. Its not about that. The film is about coming in to yourself in relation to your family. How the bond between father and son doesn’t have to look a certain way. The film really shouldn’t be categorized as gay at all. The acting was pretty great, the script was perfect, and the direction was fun and entertaining. In the film we travel from the late sixties through the early eighties, giving us fun costumes and hair styles. The film looks as good as Almost Famous or The Runaways, in terms of design. The film was directed in a very quirky way. Lots of fun done with slowmotion, zoom, montages, etc. Its all very dramatic and effective. Plus the soundtrack was enjoyable. It’s not till the end of the flick until you find out why the movie is called C.R.A.Z.Y. Its a cute “oh yeah” moment when you figure it out.
My Rating: 9/10
